Tired of hearing "just exercise more and eat better"? Yeah, me too. In this episode, we're ditching the outdated advice and getting real about why every diet you've tried eventually falls apart - and spoiler alert: it's not because you're lazy or broken.
I'm breaking down the actual science behind why your brain fights you every time you try to change, why "familiar" feels safer than "better," and most importantly - three simple steps you can use RIGHT NOW to work WITH your nervous system instead of against it.
If you're sick of the shame spiral and ready to understand what's really going on, this one's for you.
What You'll Learn:
Why the "diet and exercise" prescription is incomplete (and honestly, a little BS)
How your brain equates "familiar" with "safe" - even when familiar feels terrible
Why your nervous system sounds the alarm every time you try something new
The difference between your conscious mind (the captain) and your subconscious mind (the crew just following orders)
Three practical steps to calm your nervous system and make change actually stick.
Bottom Line: You're not failing because you lack willpower. You're struggling because nobody taught you how to work WITH your nervous system. Now you know - and that changes everything.
